Publication number: 20220047012Abstract: A mask and method of making a plurality of masks. The method includes forming a first sheet by joining a first material to a second material and forming a second sheet by joining a third material to a fourth material. The method further includes stacking the first sheet on top of the second sheet and connecting the first sheet and second sheet by joining the first material and the third material. Once the first sheet sand second sheet are joined, a mask or plurality of masks are cut from the stacked first sheet and second sheet, and the first material and the third material form the main body portion of the mask or plurality of masks, and the second material and fourth material form the fastening portion of the mask or plurality of masks.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2021Publication date: February 17, 2022Inventors: David Rork SWISHER, Michael C. DORSEY, Walter H. ISAAC, Joseph A. PALOMO

Publication number: 20160235136Abstract: A surgical mask provides a wide range of wearers with a good fit and improved comfort, facilitates proper use of the mask, and reduces or eliminates fogging of eyewear, as compared with typical masks. The mask may include a pair of ties that are joined to the upper, central, and lower parts of either side of the body of the mask with the assistance of restraint members. The mask may also include a sealing member that reduces or eliminates gaps between the wearer's face and the upper part of the mask by forming a seal between the wearer's face and the mask in use. In addition, the mask may include a barrier panel that reduces or prevents the wearer's breath from escaping through the mask and rising to the wearer's eyewear.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2015Publication date: August 18, 2016Applicant: ALLEGIANCE CORPORATIONInventors: JOSEPH A. PALOMO, STEPHANIE C. CARROLL, SARA K. WEGENER, CHRISTOPHER M. AGUILAR, JOE MILLER

Patent number: 9325047Abstract: In one embodiment, a dynamically reconfigurable bandpass filter includes a resonator loop and a microfluidic channel proximate to the resonator loop, the channel containing a conductor, wherein the position of the conductor within the channel can be adjusted to change capacitive loading of the resonator loop and therefore change the frequencies that the filter passes. In another embodiment, a filter includes a second resonator loop having comprising switches located at discrete positions along a length of the second resonator loop, wherein opening and closing of the switches changes the effective length of the second resonator loop to change capacitive loading of the first resonator loop.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2014Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: University of South FloridaInventors: Gokhan Mumcu, Timothy Joseph Palomo, Rasim Guldiken

Patent number: 7390376Abstract: A method of making a fluid impervious seam in a multilaminate fluid impervious medical fabric is disclosed. The multilaminate fluid impervious medical fabric includes at least two layers having different melting points, at least one of the layers is comprised of a fluid impervious material. The method includes overlapping two portions of the multilaminate fluid impervious medical fabric to form an overlapped region wherein the two layers having the innermost position in apposition to one another have a lower melting point relative to the melting point of the fluid impervious material layer. The two portions of multilaminate fluid impervious medical fabric are heat sealed together at the overlap at a temperature which is equal to or greater than the melting point of the innermost identical layers and which temperature is less than the melting point of the fluid impervious material layer.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2003Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: Allegiance CorporationInventors: Joseph Palomo, Fernando Amaya
